About CHRR
Established in 2012
The Centre for Human Rights Research at the University of Manitoba brings together researchers and communities committed to intersectional research, scholarship, training, and programming on human rights and social justice issues.
Current Research Themes
The Centre for Human Rights Research leads and supports interdisciplinary research on broad human rights research themes.
The CHRR prioritizes research themes based in part on the human rights context in which we live, as well as the changing composition and interests of CHRR’s Research Affiliates.
